1) “Expansionary monetary or fiscal policy does nothing but temporarily over stimulate the economy—you have a brief high, but then you have the pain of inflation.” Which statement below best describes how the AS-AD model represents this statement? 1.The policy causes the AD curve to shift to the right, causing aggregate price and output to rise. After a period of time nominal wages rise, shifting the AS curve to the left until output falls back to potential output. 2.The policy causes a movement along the AD curve which increases prices. After time the prices fall back to their initial levels. 3.The policy causes the AS curve to shift to the right causing prices and output to rise. After a period of time nominal wages rise and output falls back to potential output but prices remain elevated.
